    This forum is talking me out of buying

    I agree with you. Just because you can afford it doesn’t justify the purchase. Saying otherwise is a good example of why people with money keep and grow their money and retire early versus living paycheck to pay check. FIRE all the way.

    Looking forward to hearing about this process. With that diameter you’re doing a lift I assume, correct?

    Did anyone purchase the new expedition with X-plan?

    We bought our Navigator on xplan but we ordered ours when the order banks opened in 2017 for the 2018’s. We expected them to not be wheeling and dealing and we were correct. If we were buying now we’d try to deal first.

    Best way to get more power?

    Buckle up, you’re about to be inundated with tuner suggestions and, if you’re lucky, a couple arguments over which is superior... small displacement forced induction or naturally aspirated larger displacement. Enjoy.

    Am I correct in assuming this is in the vein of the Empire did nothing wrong?

    Center console vault

    So did you ever report the tow tru k driver? I’ve found myself saying this a few times this week, people suck. What the heck, you’re paying for his services and he feels obligated to steal from you. POS.

    Satisfied Ford Customer

    A stellar investment is buying a boatload AMZN in the summer of 2010 and holding on to it. The best you can hope for in buying a car is a ‘wow! You got it for how much?!?’ or ‘good choice on a great vehicle’ or something there abouts. It’s a depreciating asset unless it’s old and has a prancing...

    RWD vs 4WD

    You’re about to get all kinds of opinions, including mine. It depends. Having 4x4 will help your resale but cost more up front. You don’t need it unless you think you’ll ever be off pavement or wet grass or just want the added safety for inclement conditions. If you tow a boat 4low will...

    RWD tire wear pattern and need recommendation

    I thought this was a given... turn off traction control and every start from stop is WFO.... am I missing anything?

    Trash...

    This must be hyperbole, correct? Have you seen what running over hot gum at 45 MPH does to fenders and fender wells? The last time I had to clean up such a mess from my vehicle I swore I would draw and quarter the perpetrator... are you requesting torture? Because throwing gum anywhere other...

    Cracked Steering wheel... and other cosmetic issues

    I’d warranty that. That’s how it separates for the airbag to come out. Maybe happened from extreme temp changes in the car...

    Your car wet it’s pants from getting hit... I’ve heard of this happening. Sucks about the fender bender though, cops and all that or just exchanging insurance?

    XLT Tail lamp LED upgrade.

    Someone did a joke about this... we are slowly importing their air pollution in that bubble wrap. I guess now it could be that corona virus flu stuff.

    This forum is talking me out of buying

    It’s funny but true, the German makes mentioned in that article do seem to attract asshats. The asshats who can’t afford those can be seen driving some sad ass stanced vehicle. I, for one, am thankful for easily recognizable signs of douchbageryness, makes avoiding these types easy.

    This forum is talking me out of buying

    So am I the jerk for driving a Navigator or my wife for buying it? Lol I think it takes a certain mentality to earn the cash that the ‘fancy’ cars require. I wonder if this is just a case of superior intellect being misunderstood or envied by the lower level hominids. The article only mentions...

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    The wheels are a nice touch, looks great! That looks so boss that if it were mine I would have a pile of boulders dumped in my driveway to park it on as my garage would be far too coddling for something of this baddasseryness.
